L1 Lindaumauer-Trail

Description:
An easy round with a length of 8.3 km and 427 metres of ascent.

Directions:
Start at the car park next to a chapel. Car park at the chapel DD 47.904185, 14.633652, GMS 7°54'15.1 ‘N 14°38'01.1 ’E, UTM 33T 472621 5305715.The trail begins immediately after this and leads us up a moderately steep incline at first until we reach a forest road, which we continue on to the left. After 1.5 kilometres, a path branches off to the left onto the Hiebberg. In the summit area, the ascent is steep in places, but never technically difficult, and we reach the summit cross of the Hiebberg. We walk back the same way until we reach the forest road again. A short distance further on to the left, we do not continue along the forest road but branch off into the forest again. A singletrail leads us to the so-called Hals. We take this junction straight ahead and continue along the forest road. After 5.3 kilometres, we come to another point where we leave the road and turn left onto a path that leads us directly to the Lindau wall with a beautiful view of the Alpine foothills. We descend again and continue along the path on the right below the summit. This singletrail leads us back to the ‘Hals’ junction, where we continue straight ahead along the road. Downhill until the road bends to the left. However, we continue to the right and come back to the point where we came out at the beginning. We now walk downhill and quickly reach our starting point at the chapel.

Tip:
The Lindau Cave is located just below the Lindau Wall directly on the rock face. This cave is 170 metres long and can also be entered. However, caution is advised when entering the cave. It is not advisable to go without a guide and headlamp. Caves are sensitive and highly vulnerable habitats that are home to rare, albeit very small, animals. Therefore, be extremely careful and never light a fire in the cave area!

Equipment:
The required equipment always depends on the particular tour and the weather conditions. Regarding the food: This is very individual and it is recommended to have rather too much than too little with equipment and food. For a 5km round in the valley you need less than for a demanding tour in the mountains. The weather can change quickly and if you are not constantly on the move or need to take a break, for example, warming clothing is of great importance.
